My sister is moving closer to us this month and she is stressing about finding a preschool for her daughter. I’ll be sure to share this with her as we try and help her find a good preschool that is affordable.

Thanks for the comment, Sharon. To be clear, small group size is especially important for the youngest children as they are developing language as they need frequent opportunities to interact with caring adults to do this. The link between group size and child outcomes is rather less clear in the preschool years – intuitively it seems that smaller group sizes should be preferable at all ages, but the research hasn’t definitively shown that small group sizes in preschool are tightly linked to child outcomes.

My husband and I are planning to find a faith-based school for our son. We want to make sure that he will receive adequate attention to all his needs. Additionally, we want to strengthen his faith before choosing a college school because he can easily be distracted by negative thoughts. Thanks for sharing this.
